Andrex Shea Butter Toilet Rolls

[hellywelly4]

I recently bought some of these as they were on special offer. I'm pretty sure the cardboard roll inside has been made larger, so that there is less toilet roll, and the consistency of the paper is not very nice. Anyone else agree?

I noticed that too!!! I had a couple of empty rolls in my bin and I noticed that one was fatter, hence less paper.
It is getting expensive to wipe one's bum these days.

So glad it's not just me. I've been really put off with Andrex, don't think I will be buying that brand again.

Average number of sheets per roll for Andrex products:

Classic white 221
Gentle clean 190
Quilts / Skin Kind / Shea Butter 160

I'll keep buying the supermarket 'value' ones!

These toilet rolls are not as good
As once they used to be.
They're getting smaller, and I think,
That this is plain to see.

The sheets are small,
The bums are big,
So where will it all end?
I really think that we shall end up
Going round the bend.

The Petal Soft from Iceland are good quality and good value @ £1 for 4.

Crikey! Buenchico! Am I that bad? (weeps softly)

Use old newspaper cut into squares. About all the Daily Wail is good for!
What the **** is Shea Butter anyway?

[ubasses]

Definitely getting smaller.

What a bum deal.

[Old_Geezer]

I'm less concerned with the price per shet, but more concerned with the fact that all brands offer an inferior product that even doubling up doesn't necessarily solve; and all have surfaces that rub off and stick to one's sit-apon.

[Jackdaw33]

That reminds me. I must have a word with my cleaner. Last week she put a new roll in the holder the WRONG WAY ROUND!

[MargoTester]

Bring back Izal I say that was really soft in the bum :-))

[tonyav]

How very dare she, JD. A written warning at the very least.

[Jackdaw33]

Remember when toilet rolls had a shiny side and a rough side? Also Izal medicated toilet tissue. Made good tracing paper though, the school caretaker couldn't understand how we got through so much.
